They're in the same generation imo, Hamilton would have to retire a couple seasons before Vettel for that happen as he is still going to bag more poles.

That's why I think the younger guys in the right car could. Verstappen being my favorite, then Le Clerk (I think that's how you spell his name)

Mick Schumacher will break it :)

Nope, Hamilton has as much chance as Vettel of getting a dud car.... and Vettel has a good chance of having a championship winning car. He doesn't have to retire.

Don't think you can compare the two. Hamilton has always had the best car available to race in.

That's a joke lol.
1) MS hasn't had the strongest of partners.
2) He absolutely has had the best car available to race in for most of his career.
3) Hamilton has not had the best car to race in his entire career.
4) One of those titles was his (MS) thanks to the FIA.

Don't want to jinx it but the sun's out and the GP3 kids are already racing on a dry track.

If you want a wet race here is the recording of yesterdays delayed F2 race.
[video]https://my.mail.ru/mail/burningwheels/video/_myvideo/600.html?from=videoplayer[/video]

A few laps behind the safety car to dry the track then a standing start.

If you want to skip formation the actual race start is at 24:30.

Reportedly the best F2 race of the season so far.

If nothing else watch the last 3 laps.

To be fair, MS had much better competitors that he raced against.

Disagree with the best car for MS. Every team that he started with, he literally took them to the title, excluding the Jordan where only drove a few races in. When he went to Ferrari, he certainly did not have the best car, in fact, Ferrari were struggling big time when he joined. It was because of him, Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne and Jean Todt that saw team red rediscover its best era for a long time.

I can't understand why you would say Lewis hasn't had the best car, that's really baffling to say the least

Comparing the two will never work because of the different eras imo. Although to be fair, Hamilton also arrived at Merc and they didn't have the best car then, he was part of the building of the Merc team we know now with Rosberg
 
With the grid mixed due to wet quali conditions, and so many penalties, they could have saved time yesterday and just drawn straws for starting positions. As it is Hamilton is the only person starting from his Quali position, the rest is anyone's guess.
